Word Frequency Analyzer

Key features

• Ranked word list with animated bars, scalable from the top 5 to the top 50 words.
• Three independent filters: ignore ~100 common English stopwords, case-insensitive counting, and skip pure numbers.
• Summary stats: total words, unique words, average word length and lexical density (unique ÷ total).
• Keyword cloud of the top 20 words, sized and colored by frequency, with exact counts on hover.
• Unicode-aware tokenization that keeps inner apostrophes — 'don't' and 'dogs'' are counted as single words.
• Copy list exports the rankings as 'word ×count' lines, ready to paste anywhere.

How it works

1. 1

   Paste your text

   Drop in an article, essay or chat log — or load the built-in sample to see the tool in action immediately.

2. 2

   Tune the filters

   Toggle ignore-common-words, case-insensitivity and number-skipping; the analysis recalculates about 200 ms after each change.

3. 3

   Set the list size

   Slide Top-N between 5 and 50 words to control how deep the ranking goes.

4. 4

   Read and copy the results

   Bars show each word's share relative to the leader, the cloud visualizes the top 20, and Copy list grabs the ranking with counts.

Tips for better results

• 💡Turn off 'ignore common words' when you want the raw truth about connector-word dominance in your writing.
• 💡Lexical density is a quick vocabulary-richness signal — lower percentages often indicate repetitive text.
• 💡For SEO checks, keep case-insensitive on but stopword-filtering off to see exactly which terms dominate the page.
• 💡The bars are relative to the most frequent word, so a word at half the leader's bar length occurs half as often.
